Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?

He doesn't hunt them in particular, but, had he succeeded in executing Agatha, then he would have killed 1/6 of the contemporary female sparks I can remember right now (the light technician, Agatha, Lu, the two Queens, Thorpe). He could have had a disproportionate effect on their numers.

I thought Tom Bombadil dreadful — but worse still was the announcer's preliminary remarks that Goldberry was his daughter (!), and that Willowman was an ally of Mordor (!!).

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?

I think the general belief in Europa is that most female sparks are rounded up by unsavory male sparks or burned as witches; In practice I suspect many of those who escaped the "burned as witches" option were rounded up by the Geisterdamen and ended up in Arronev's machine (I grant Arronev counts as an unsavory male spark, but he didn't do the rounding up).

The novels cover it in a bit more detail, but they are in the attic and I don't intend going back up there 'till bedtime...

I wonder who Pookie's "they" are. Could be her sisters, could be something else...

Part of that might be the pale blue eyes. They look a bit different in each panel, like they can't get the color consistently.
